Medical physiology - Rodney A. Rhoades

Designed for medical students, Medical Physiology: Principles for Clinical Medicine clearly and concisely presents the physiological concepts that are essential to clinical medicine. Each chapter emphasizes conceptual diagrams to facilitate comprehension of difficult concepts, and applies basic clinical concepts in both normal and abnormal conditions to illustrate how physiology serves as an important basis for diagnosis and treatment. Outstanding pedagogical features emphasize problem-solving processes: Clinical Foucs boxes and From Bench to Bedside boxes; a comprehensive glossary; and online USMLE-style review questions with answers and explanations.
